... just, wow.
By now, I'm sure you've seen this. To their credit, the Canton PD has suspended this officer pending an investigation, but I'm not confident that anything substantive will be done. I can see how the officer may be retrained, or reprimanded, but as these investigations typically go, there's enough doubt for a sympathetic department to do the least they can about this incident.
That leaves the victim to sue for violation of civil rights (which he might win) without the obvious benefit of the officer having been punished (or criminally charged).
It would really be nice if elected officials would put some safeguards and teeth into the law to prevent these sorts of things. But then we wouldn't want to be seen as anti-police then, would we?
